Dave's Hot Chicken is a social media sensation chicken spot featuring tenders, fries, pickles and…read moreshakes. Prices are high for fast food but portions are huge and quality is worth it! After PDQ in Farmingdale closed, we were looking for another place with extraordinary chicken tenders on Long Island. My son saw Dave's Hot Chicken on social media. I love the story of how it started out of a garage in Hollywood and has now expanded across the U.S. I love a good entrepreneur success story. On this rainy December day after Christmas we were heading to Roosevelt Field Mall and decided to detour to Dave's. The parking lot was crazy and the place was pretty crowded but we managed to find a table quickly. The staff was nice and friendly. The decor was interesting .. hip without trying too hard. The big "Strong Island" sign emphasized local ties even though the chain started in LA. We first balked at the prices. But then we saw the serving sizes!! First, the chicken "tenders" are the size of chicken cutlets. The meals look expensive ($12 for 1 tender, pickles and fries) but a single tender is a full meal for most people! It's served on a slice of white bread, which is probably the only aspect of the entire meal that's not impressive! We ordered the large loaded fries ($17), a tender meal ($12) and 2 single tenders ($5+ each.) Again, keep in mind the tenders are huge. I'd rather have a single tender than two McDonald's snack wraps. So now, what you're probably wondering: How did it taste? Amazing!!! We got mild and no spice. The mild was just spicy enough but even the plain tenders were excellent -- crispy and clearly made with high quality, juicy chicken. The fries came fully loaded with Kale slaw, cheese, pickles, sauce, and 10 chicken bites plus Dave's sauce. The fries stayed crispy and delicious. I'm not a big fry person but these were fantastic. If you're in the area, definitely splurge on this fast food experience. I just hope they open a few closer to western Suffolk.

Fun atmosphere inside and out…read more I came here for some take out and the two guys at the register were super helpful as it was my first time. The menu was a little confusing at first. I ordered three varieties of nuggets: original, medium, and reaper. The reaper seasoning requires the recipient to sign a waiver in the event that the "heat" causes damage. The place looked pretty clean and well maintained overall. The kitchen was visible from the ordering station and the supervisors and packers were super attentive to who was waiting for their order and when it would be ready. They also had a separate huge screen with people's delivery orders organized by provider like Uber Eats, GrubHub, etc. The nuggets kept warm in their containers until I reached home. My s.o. and I tried them all and everything was perfect. The reaper was fire but also extremely hot, similar to when we tried the spiciest chicken sandwich challenge, but not nearly as bad, in a good way. The original is bomb. No flames just simple breaded chicken. And the medium was like a little kick of spicy. We enjoyed all of them. One star removed for cold french fries that came with the orders. It tasted like they were cold and waiting for someone to place the order so they could be served. Happy eats !

It's been about 4 years since I've been to The Burger Spot, but the food and service is still as great as I remember it to be. I used the ordering service through their website and put in my order for pickup. I walked into The Burger Spot and went to the cashier. My order was behind the counter and ready for pickup. My go to speciality burger is Swiss ($15.95). Swiss comes with swiss, mushrooms, and caramelized onions. Burgers are served with fries. The burger was juicy and just the way I remember it to be. The fries are very crispy and the white sauce it comes with is very good. My husband ordered one of the specials, the Tamarind Cilantro Chicken Sandwich ($16.54). This sandwich is grilled chicken with pepper jack cheese, avocado, arugula, topped with homemade Tamarind cilantro salsa on ciabatta. The sandwich was also served with a side of fries, but you can substitute it for others like he chose 1/2 Sweet Potato / 1/2 Onion Rings for $2.07 more. There were only a few onion rings, but they are big. The sandwich was packed with flavors. The Burger Spot is the spot for burgers and fries. There are a few tables inside and when the weather is nice, there are tables set up outside as well. Definitely check it out if you are in the area!

I was so happy to see a Homemade Taqueria store open in nearby Hempstead. Got a takeout order of…read morechips and guac, chicken burrito with avocado add-on, steak taco and 3 shrimp tacos. Everything was well packaged, with pleasant staff and prompt service. First of all portions are quite generous. Warm chips in a paper bag tasted homemade, and the "small" order of guac I ordered was actually a huge portion and ultra creamy. The chicken burrito was packed with fresh ingredients (although I would have liked more chicken); the $2.00 surcharge for adding hefty avocado slices was well worth it. Soft tacos wrapped in corn tortillas made with large seared shrimp were delicious. I liked that they didn't use too much cojita cheese in the tacos, but plenty of healthy avo. I didn't much care for the spicing of my marinated steak taco, but my partner loved it so no accounting for tastes :) Each item comes with a choice of two sauces so I tried them all. The pico and green sauce were my personal faves, I used them liberally to spice things up. Ordering directly from Homemade Taqueria's website is the most cost effective method, and they offer loyalty points as well. Can't wait to try some different items next time!

They must have not updated their online menu because I checked before I left & the TCS Hero I wanted was $13 & change. Went in to have it come to over $16 with tax.

What I wasn't told (& found out from the receipt) was that my hero came with a free bottle of Poland spring, or can of soda or Arizona. They definitely don't fill their sandwiches like they used to because each half only had one cutlet, I could have spent the same amount at the store for ingredients & had a few days worth of the same sandwich. Not sure if it's because of everyone ordering online, but I was shocked to see only a couple of customers there when I'm used to the place being packed any time of day.

Payment and everything went through but there were wet sign cones in both of the drive thru lanes. My partner and I then walked to the door to figure out how can we get our food. A nice male employee told us that they were closed until 6AM. My partner and I started inquiring on how we could get our money back, he went to get the manager. It was this old grumpy lady who is the early AM manager and respectfully needs to be retrained. My partner asked about how do we get a refund. The lady says, " I don't know". That's cool and all to not know but she didn't stop there. She says, " No money, no food" and threw her hands up shrugging oh well. She then closes the window and walks off. I think it's crazy that establishments can take your money, have no detailed refund policy and say "oh well" that's your issue. Point of this review. Don't do mobile order pickup with these people, I'll be deleting the app and never frequenting this location ever again.
